A great run of interesting Pictures,the Colours of the Clothing are spectacular. A few Men on Oma Fiets,while you will get a couple of Men sometime on Women's Bikes in Dublin it is not the done thing only when nothing else is available.You sometimes see Old Men on Women's Bike's as they are easier to get on.

What a great gene pool you have over there.

I love all your photos, of course, but particularly that last one! I sometimes see not-so-young cyclists here (I'm one myself, I guess!), but I will know we have truly achieved bike equality when we see scenes like that. And I know that picture is one you could snap on any given day.

goosebumps. You make me so proud of my city: Amsterdam, City of Bikes!

Oh my, I LOVE the kiss, the hold & bite and the dukes! That last one made me chuckle out loud (in a public computer room too, so got some weird looks, the sign says silence and all). The kiss makes me want to have the same route to work as the boyfriend.

I am laughing out loud at 'In the Dutch Mountains' at work; consequently all my work colleagues now think I am nuts. Well done!

A great post, really evocative and gets across the busy energy of so many cyclists just perfectly.

Just love, love this stuff! I'm so glad you're not getting bored of it! Faves are the kiss, the dogs, and the elderly couple.

I've been meaning to write and ask about Rokjesdag! We've had a snowstorm every other day here, so we're far from it.

You can never take too many pictures. I love them, they cheer me up.

thanks, John! Yeah, what a difference the North Sea makes, huh? ;)

hahaha, great phrasing, love it. Oh, and I agree :)

Thanks, Wilma! Keep looking out for them!

That's awesome, Marco, away with that 'taking things for granted', right? :)

hahaha, let them look, we both know better :). Spring works lovely on the brain and senses, doesn't it? ;)

Glad you caught that! Thanks!

Thank you! No, never bored, just sometimes sad I don't have more time, I could do this all day, all week, all year round. Hope that winter will disappear from your life soon!

I'll keep them coming, Vagabond, cheers!

Only just noticed, the “he was on tv pic” Is that who I think it is in the background? ex eo-er Arie Boomsma?

yup, dat is 'm. Ze waren de avond ervoor samen bij DWDD te gast, dus vond het grappig/toevallig(?) dat ze ook samen door de stad fietsten…:). Weet alleen de naam van die ander ff niet.

Haha, kewl! Ik heb niet zoveel met Arie, ik weet alleen nog dat er hele flauwe grappen waren bij de lama's en dat hij leuk meedeed. Hij heeft iig een opvallend hoofd. DWDD heb ik niet eens gezien, ik kijk alleen nog maar laptop en geen tv :P

Ik heb sinds 5 jaar weer een tv aangesloten, hij staat nu regelmatig op de achtergrond aan, voor het geval dat (ja, online is interessanter)…maar soms, zoals toen, vergeet ik weg te zappen van domme/hijgerige/populistische programma's :) en is 3 seconden in beeld voldoende het je te herinneren als je weer lekker buiten aan het spelen (lees: fotograferen) bent ;)

Stephan Sanders. They published a book together about men's bodies or something, which is why they were on DWDD.

thanks, Branko, I lost track of BN'ers' names a long time ago ;)

:D Buitenspelen is ook veel leuker, en gezonder. Krijg je bovendien een mooi kleurtje van!

Your old people photo is being displayed prominently on AT5.nl today. Don't know if that is a regular thing. I assume it is, because they don't mention the CC license.

hi Branko, the people from AT5 always ask permission first, so also for this one. Nothing can be linked from the photo, so instead of credits with my full name I chose 'Amsterdamize.com' ;)

Exceptional photos – also demonstrate the utility value of the Dutch bikes. I envy your camera skills – especially as many of these cyclists were in motion. Well done.

Thanks, Oli! Yeah, we use and abuse our trusty work horses :).

Bike wave! Love it.

Great set. I want to cycle. Now.

Got more of those coming up! It's the season! ;)

Thanks & good to hear it's itching :)
